Righthaven.com sells for $3,300

Righthaven.com, the domain name that once belonged to the scourge of the internet, has sold in a public auction at SnapNames for $3,300.

The domain name was sold to help cover a court ordered settlement against Righthaven by one of its many victims.

Righthaven purchased copyrights and then sued blogs and forums that had posted the copyrighted material, often demanding their domain name to be turned over as well. It earned the moniker of a “copyright troll” for its activities, invoking the patent troll name for non-practicing entities that file patent lawsuits.
